About the beach

Mogán · Gran Canaria

Playa del Cura sits at the mouth of a valley along the Mogán coast, nestled between arid hills and tourist developments. Its dark sand and pebbles give it a distinct look compared to nearby Amadores, while its compact size makes it easy to navigate. It suits those looking for a simple beach base in this part of the island; the mixed seabed requires a bit of extra care when entering the water.
